SteemIt notifies me..... leaves me with question about open/closed source
SteemIt notifies me when I reply to my own post:

As I am software developer myself, so I thought I'd go to the SteemIt site on Github, make a fix for this and submit a pull request. However when I searched for the word 'mentioned' I could not find it. Which implies that the server push which triggered this notification is not open source, or at least on a separate project.  

Does anyone know if all of SteemIt is open source or are there some parts, such as the notifications engine, which are closed?    I'm asking because I am quite interested in look at notifications with a view to developing some additional features in this area....
